I had this idea, you see...

Sometime last year I considered opening a new community.  For whatever reason, it never developed and I just let it sort of percolate in the back of my mind.
But this is a new year, and new things seem to be cropping up in different directions.  I for one don't want to fail to follow the muse, or the path or whatever we need to call our wandering proclivities.  
What this is, I hope, is a nice place to carry on a conversation about MFU, the episodes and the men who make it memorable.
Admittedly, and as most who have been kind enough to read any of my stories know, the thing I love is mission related, gen fiction.  I love the series the way it looked to me when I was a kid.   You know, the way it made me fall for the Russian, or that made you giddy over Napoleon.
I'm not inviting my flist in a rush to fill the place, but if you're interested in the kind of propaganda that promotes World Peace through Handsome Intervention, then I hope you'll stop in and visit here.  I can't think of a better form of PR.

As do we at Section Eight. We are aptly named; trust me.

In UNCLE, Section 8 is the lab. Are you representing the scientists?

Research and Development. It seemed appropriate, since that's what I do with stories anyway. And of course, there is always the non-UNCLE meaning of a "Section Eight"...

Ummm... what would that be? I know there's bound to be someone else who is ignorant who joins me in asking.

A "Section Eight" is what Corporal Klinger was bucking for on MASH. It's a euphemism for losing one's marbles.


Actually, my true name for the site is "La Vie Neuf"--The Ninth Life. When togsos created my banner, she used the name I had at the time, which was "Section Eight." Later on I thought of "La Vie Neuf," which I prefer. I'd change my banner to reflect the new name if I could, but I don't know how.

I figure Illya and Napoleon probably used up eight of their lives as active agents, but the ninth life is reserved for their personal fulfillment. I like that thought.

PS: Nearly halfway done with "10 Plagues." YAY!

I didn't know that about Section 8. But, I never really watched MASH. I know, hard to believe.
As for La Vie Neuf... I like that a lot. You're probably right about the guys needing 9 lives to escape all of that madness they encountered. And big Yay for 10 Plagues. Finishing them, not having them ;)

i can change it for you if you like.

[avery11.livejournal.com]

Seriously?? I'd love it, thank you!

[togsos.livejournal.com]

no problem at all, i'll do it for you tomorrow

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

What are the chances, Togsos, that a banner could be had for section7mfu? I haven't any clue as to how it is done, and you are so brilliant. PR and Propaganda, that seems like a good place for someone with your talents ;)

[togsos.livejournal.com]

if you dont mind waiting a couple of days i can do it. Do you have any ideas as to what you want, what colour, any pictures in particular you want to use. Have a think about it and let me know and i will put something together for you :D

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

Thank you Togsos. I will start thinking immediately.
